Mount Lebanon, PA
Mount Lebanon developed substantially in the early 20th century as one of Pittsburgh's first streetcar suburbs, with the Pittsburgh Railways Company's Beechview-Mount Lebanon line, opened in 1913, connecting the growing community directly to downtown Pittsburgh and shaping much of its early residential development pattern along the rail corridor. That streetcar line has survived essentially intact into the present day as part of the Pittsburgh Regional Transit light rail system, making Mount Lebanon one of the relatively few American suburbs still served by a rail transit line dating back more than a century to the original streetcar era. The community's Uptown business district, built along Washington Road near the light rail station, has retained a walkable, small-town commercial character that's stood in contrast to the more purely residential development found in some neighboring South Hills communities. Mount Lebanon's combination of a rare, still-operating century-old streetcar-to-light-rail transit connection and a walkable Uptown commercial core has made it one of the more historically continuous and consistently desirable suburbs anywhere in Pittsburgh's South Hills region.
VS
Bethel Park, PA
Bethel Park developed substantially in the postwar decades as one of the larger South Hills suburbs south of downtown Pittsburgh, growing from a smaller rural township into a significant residential community as Pittsburgh's population expanded outward from the city through the 1950s and '60s. The community's South Park, a large county park shared with neighboring municipalities, gives Bethel Park residents access to extensive recreational facilities, including a public pool, ice rink, and trail system, without requiring a drive into the city for outdoor recreation. Bethel Park's public schools have consistently ranked among the stronger districts in the South Hills region, and the township's mix of postwar residential subdivisions and newer infill development has made it one of the larger and more consistently stable suburban communities in that part of the Pittsburgh metro area. Bethel Park's combination of substantial postwar residential growth, extensive shared parkland at South Park, and consistently solid schools has made it one of the larger and more reliably desirable suburbs anywhere in Pittsburgh's South Hills region.
